Makings from the Madhouse: Craft Show & Lost in Time Shawl

The Flower, Arts and Craft Show came around again and this was our second year of entering.

Paul entered his first piece this year.

Although we had spent time with the kids doing there entry's, we left some of ours to the last minute. Paul had a late night drawing his picture, which took him about 4 hours.

No, we didn't enter any flowers, i know where my skills start and end!, but the displays were amazing,i really wish i was more green fingered, but i think that will come at a time when the kids are older and we are less busy.

These succulents though are something i think i could manage, as they seem to below maintenance and they look wonderful, so might be something i could give a go in the future.

I entered a Fruit Carrot Cake and a Lemon Drizzle cake, unfortunately didn't get placed,b ut i am not surprised as the week before my fan oven blew up and i was forced to use the top oven, which really is nothing like the main oven and took longer to bake and so made it very hard to time it and well they were just not the same as i usually do, but its the taking part that counts

AS everything you enter has to be made in the year between shows,i entered Freds Knitted jumper, but afterwards realised i had a couple of other bits i could have entered, mainly from before Christmas as after it was all about Mollys float and i have made not much.

I came 2nd!

This was a new project,My Lost in Time Shawl,that i finished the night before the show, i love it so much,the colours are so bright,i used a couple of balls of my Carons Cakes on it.
